Swimming the English Channel

Mencap wants a world where people with a learning disability gain an equal right to choice opportunity and respect. We believe that support for the families and carers of people with a learning disability is vital to achieving our vision

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page for the third time

To qualify to swim the Chanel at just 12 exceeded our bloody dreams for this boy and then to go on to attempt to swim it again less than a year later is crazy !! He then swam round the 20 bridges of Manhattan and we thought he would be hanging up his swim shorts but no he insisted on trying again for the third time , along side his new team some new some old but all equally resilient, they’ve trained all winter in all weathers , it’s tough going , Ed’s new challenge later on in the year will be to swim from Italy to France 🤩

All this he does for charity all training and trips are funded by us and the reason they do it is for Mencap .

We have decided after a successful fundraising campaign last year we will be donating a week in the villa again
